Pierson posted:Man it is really hard to go to other Total War games from here. I tried Shogun 2 and while I got through a few battles with similar tactics the entire thing just felt kinda "yeah it's good but I'd be having more fun if those spearmen were skeletons and I was fighting orcs". Have an army of Thunderers/HandGunners with Cannons. Your now playing Napoleon, and killing orcs.

Funky See Funky Do posted:What's everyone's go-to artillery unit for the Dwarves? I feel like I need at least one piece to draw the enemy into attacking but everything seems fairly ineffective. Gyrobombers are fun I find myself focusing on mircromanaging them too much. The organ gun would be great but the fire arc on them gives them a very small area of effectiveness. I'll usually bring along a battery of three. Either Cannons if i think i'm going to be dealing with a lot of monsters, Grudge Throwers if not. Been trying out Organ Guns spaced between the front line instead of Thunderers and it works kinda okay.

Aurubin posted:I wonder how they'll balance the Bretonnia campaign. As it stands you're isolated from any westerly threat, and Marienburg is usually interested in the easier Middenheim/Reikland pickings. Now that I think of it, have they said that Bretonnia will be playable in the grand campaign or am I just assuming that? Make you the main target of the Viking hordes from day one? Unending Varg/Skaeling stacks landing in your capital province. Have fun.

Taking Gunbad is kind of a trap. It's such a long walk up to it and you need everything you can get early game to stomp on Grimgor's head.

Fire Barrel posted:Agreed. WHFB wasn't always great with its art design or world fiction, but AoS looks like a weird, less flashy WH40k. Heck, one of the things that drew me into fantasy was seeing the Empire troops running around in their costumes and the Solomon Kane-esque witch hunters. The new stuff doesn't quite do it for me. WHFB was great because it was basically all our fantasy and horror cliche's thrown into one giant mess and beating seven shades of poo poo out of each other. It was glorious AoS is... not that.

Kaza42 posted:Vlad's training ability, available at level 4, gives +150 xp per turn factionwide and +230xp per turn to his army. FACTION WIDE training. And he gets a level 5 ability that gives +10% campaign and 15% battle movespeed. Combined with his faction trait of +5% campaign speed, and by level 5 he's got +25% move speed and a training hero equivalent in every army AND beguile. drat Vlad is powerful By the time the various expansion lords and heroes come out the beginning set are going to look very sorry indeed. CA have learnt well from GW.

Aurubin posted:I'm just glad there's an option that doesn't involve murdering the whole of the Empire, Bretonnia, and the Dwarfs to win. Then again I think the Wood Elves wood be cool with that. I'm fairly sure that whatever their victory condition implies, it's going to mean "not good things" for Empire, Bretonnia and the Dwarfs. Actually, i expect it'll mean "not good things" for anyone who doesn't spend their time living in those freaky woods.

Comrayn posted:There is some piece of poo poo goblin army running around in my territory, I sent an army after them but he stops just out of range. They sack the town they were about one town's worth of space out of reach of before (other side of my army), run AROUND my army, and still manage to be out of range next turn. I chase back after them and can't catch them, they run around me again and sack the same loving town and have enough movement left over to scamper off. The answer, I've found, is walls. Walls on everything. I don't care that the settlement is deep in your lands and miles from the front line. Trust me. The AI is a lovely cheaty bastard and will beeline for anything not protected.

Jamwad Hilder posted:Isn't part of the high elves schtick that all the different city-states are good at different stuff? Like one is all about chariots and smashing dudes with axes, one is elf ninjas, one is cavalry focused, one is really good at wizards, etc. So in addition to dark elves loving around, maybe each sub-faction will field rosters that are similar at the core, but operate slightly differently in terms of elite units. Kind of like how Wood Elves are elf focused and the tree faction is tree focused. I thought that Chaos likes to dick around on the island too because of all the magic. The mountains are full of gribbly things that can come down. So.. demons and beastmen Otherwise, the Helfs tend to do a lot of venturing forth to keep the waystone network working. Which could be used as a reason to get them off the island.

Chaos, so far as i can tell, mostly just goes for whatever is nearby. I've never noticed it driving straight for me, hell with the Dwarves i usually have to go drat well find them. Y'know, after i've conquered all the gods be damned badlands.

SkySteak posted:This is probably old news but are Dwarves fun to play in Campaigns (both starts)? I admit that they look fun as hell from a gunline/infantry perspective but I am wondering if their roster being nearly completely bereft of fast options would make it quite frustrating with some factions. The trick is to have more arty than the AI army. That way they'll come to you and you don't have to slog your way across no mans land.

Generally my progression for minor settlements is. 1. Growth 2. lvl 2 3. Garison 4. lvl 3 5. Garison lvl 2 Then whatever. I don't bother even thinking about putting anything else there until they're guarded as well as i can manage. As the AI will run a stack through my entire territory to attack unwalled settlements given half a chance.

Aurubin posted:I sincerely doubt they'll include Araby, Cathay, Nippon, Ind, or Khuresh. It'd be awesome if they did, kinda racist caricatures aside, but they'd have to create them out of mostly whole cloth. Heck they couldn't be arsed to do anything for Kislev, Estalia, or Tilea. Giving them funny hats might have been enough even if the rosters were the same as Empire The 3rd expansion will be Demons, Tomb Kings, Ogres, and Chaos Dwarfs. If they did, i would buy it.

Aurubin posted:I mean, I would too. Magical Fake China would be fun to see. TW fans always say they want a game set in medeival China, close enough! I expect they'll start adding in the more unknown factions either after the second expansion or the third. At that point they should have enough models from the main factions that smaller and, well, non-GW ones shouldn't be too much work to make. Given how much of a cash cow it seems the game has been so far something like "unknown realms" DLC wouldn't be too big a stretch for them to start on.

Which seems like a bug since surely Lyonesse is not meant to be to only human province on the map that is incapable of being unified. Lyonesse can settle it fine. I razed that swamp and then left it, like the good king i am, for my loyal vassals. Then i confederated them later.
